Week 8 - Baltimore Ravens Vs. Arizona Cardinals

[JO_75]

I'm watching the FOX Pre-Game and they aired Ray Lewis giving his Pre-Game Speech, my first thought...... he needs to give that Speech to the Offense.

[respecttheRaven]

My neck is already tensed up!!!

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Offense has to get going

[JIVE1000]

Take a look at the other divisional opponents records. This is one tough division. All may end up with winning records. I think being in this division makes the Ravens a better team though because of the competition. GO RAVENS!!!

Were you watching the CBS broadcast about most regressed quarterback too? Because that is terrible.

Is it normal that I actually get angry and defensive watching this?

Yeah, well the QB's they put in there made it hard NOT to pick Flacco. Maybe put in Freeman, Cassel, Rivers. Then Flacco has a chance

Yes, because the football world never looks at the season, they just look at Flacco's stats and say "oh his completion percentage is down, he can't hit a target anymore". It's not true at all. He would've been sacked 40 times already if he didn't throw the ball away like he does. Why is it Joe who's regressed and not one of the QBs who's thrown more picks than TDs?

Really ticks me off knowing our own fans are right there bashing him too.

Because it's not as FUN!

I wonder what people around here would say if Cam and the O put up 40 today

Yea, I got pretty mad and started yelling at the T.V. about how it's not just Joe and then realized I was just having the same argument with the T.V. that I've been having all week here! Plus reediddy has the right of it, Joe's definitely the least popular QB on that list. You're telling me that Matt Ryan has 'regressed' less than Flacco?!

Was McNabb there? Wasn't paying good attention, but I don't see how Flacco has "regressed" more than McNabb. They had Sanchez in there, but since last year the Jets gave him a Super Bowl hero and the Ravens took two of Joe's go-to guys away.

[ratedr]

I think it's safe to say that the season is over if we lose this game. Too many good teams in the AFC this year. Only 4 teams in the AFC are below .500. Unfortunately, none of those teams are in our division.

They asked a poll question, who is the QB that has regressed most this year. Options were Flacco, Ryan, Sanchez or Rivers. Cowher said Rivers but Boomer said Flacco. Poll results were wildly in favor of Flacco, 40%. Obviously after Ryan and Sanchez coming off big wins in a "what have you done for me lately" league, and Rivers' reputation preceding him, Flacco was no doubt the choice

[rlh445]

I don't think that's 'safe to say' at all . And it starts! Have a couple beers ratedr and relax man!

Probably something like "Let's see if they can do this on a consistent basis" And I'd agree.

An opening drive TD would shut up the media. Lets go Joe!!

we've been doing that more than you think this season.

[ratedr]

The Cards also use 4-3 cover 2. So we'll see what happens.

Yea it really doesn't matter what the Ravens do today, either way detractors will just find another way to go about worrying about them. Oh well!
